Yes, use the one we provided in the first post, it's free.

Thank you so much

I am trying to delete this virus by following the step-by-step directions; however it wouldnt let me download that anti-malware program. So I found it on another website and downloaded it; however it wont let me open it. I suspect the virus is blocking it...still have the alpha antivirus on my computer..what should I do to remove it?

I can't find AlphaAv in the process window. Can it be under another name?

I'm trying to remove the alpha antivirus, but when I went under the task window and under process the program alphaav was not there. Can anyone out there up me.

I tried to follow the instructions, but when I attempt to access task manger the computer says it has been disabled. What should i do??

Anyone finding difficulty removing this, please open a new topic here:

Worked! Thanks!

Make sure you run an update before doing the scan. I thought I had and apparently had not so running the scan found nothing the first time.

Thank goodness for sites like this and AntiMalware for being free.

I tried using your guide but it didn't help me get rid of it. It got rid of other stuff but not this alpha antivirus. The malware was working but it didn't delete this. I was so happy because I thought I was going to get rid of it. So...is there anything else I can try to do? I'm currently using my other account on my laptop because my main one, the internet is blocked by alpha antivirus. But someone helped me fix this one a little bit, but it's not gone completley. I'm rambling here so sorry if I don't make sense. Please help if there is anything else that I can do to get rid of this.

you really saved my ass from this virus and i thank you from all my heart

My friend's computer had this on it. I suspect it jumped on while downloading a software trial download. It didn't waste any time aggravated anyone who accessed the internet. This Antivirus was truly the opposite of what it was saying it was. My friend and I followed your easy step by step removal guide and we are so thankful for the great advice.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say thank you! I did what you said and the virus is gone! Awesome job to you all!

Thank you sooooooooooo much! This Alpha thing was driving me crazy! I have a brand new laptop and I have no idea how it could have gotten on here. The removal guide was flawless! I created an account just to say thanks! Peace.

HELP ME
what do i do to get rid of this thing

If you read the guide carefully, you'll see that it never tells you to click Abort Scan. Abort means give up, stop; so don't click it!

Try booting into Safe Mode. Press F8 repeatedly as the computer is booting, and when it brings up a list of choices, select Safe Mode with networking.

Thankyou so much for this guide, it worked perfectly first time and I am now rid of the cursed Alpha!! You are a star!! :o)

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Worked to a "T" on the Windows XP.

Thanks so much for the advise about Alpha Anti-Virus. I tried to go to Best Buy to get their opinion about removing this virus and they really wouldn't even give me a hint on how to do it, even though I printed out the instructions from here and was showing them to the associate. Anyways, I was able to do it on my own. Thanks!

Hi , this is my first post . I have the " Alpha Antivirus " and went into the Task Manger / Processes and could not find " AlphaAV.exe "
I bought the " Malwarebytes Anti-Malware " , is this the right software ? Sorry I'm not very good with computers yet and could use some help .

Thanks

Rick

This is the third time I'm press scan (the first time I press full scan) and I follow all the instructions but the Alpha anitivirus sitll there. The second time it pop out no malishious items were detected without pressing abort. So, what else I can do?

Wow! Thank you so much for your help with this virus! My computer is clean! Thank you! I too signed up just to say thank you! And I plan on using this website again for help in the future(if needed).

Hi Rick!

I too didn't see "AlphaAv.exe". I just saw "Alpha.eve". I followed the steps from there and it worked. Im not sure if this helps or what it is your looking for but I hope it does. Im not the greatest with computers either...

Good Luck!

Glory be!!! This worked after every attempt known to mankind!!! I can not thank you enough Mr. Inferno. You and the other "Police" will be remembered this Thankgiving. My donation is forthcoming.

this is saying no longer offering free malware removal any other suggestions on getting rid of alpha

I am thrilled. My laptop was infected with this horrible virus. I am so thankful I found Geek Police because the Malaware Application worked like a charm. My son was so angry with me that I downloaded Alpha Antivirus, as it has no publisher - but I, too, was suckered into it.
Thank you for the solution!!

Thank you so much. My computer is now safe from Alpha thingy. Buy the way ppl the malware thing is for free and removes alpha for free so please download it if you are also having trouble!

Hi,
if you still have malware problem please read THIS post, open new topic in Virus, Spyware & Malware Removal and post your HijackThis log file inside.

Wait for instructions given only by DragonMaster Jay, Origin or Belahzur

I registered to say a big Thank You for helping me. I was at my wits end and Norton wanted to charge me $100 to remove this. Your instructions were easy to follow and they worked!!!

I am fed up with Norton and if you can recommend an antivirus program I would be very grateful. I am telling my computer friends about you.
